2014 Mazda MX-5 2.0L Petrol · YD64 CUG

The vehicle presents a high roadworthiness status, maintaining a consistent record of clean passes over the last five years. The most recent test conducted in February 2026 at 24,598 miles resulted in no defects or advisories. This trend indicates a stable maintenance environment where the vehicle has consistently met all safety and emission standards without the recurring mechanical or structural degradations often seen in older sports cars of this era. The mileage pattern is exceptionally low for a twelve-year-old vehicle, averaging approximately 2,050 miles per year. Between February 2022 and February 2026, the car covered only 3,747 miles, suggesting it is used sparingly or kept seasonally. Such low usage typically reduces mechanical wear on the drivetrain, engine components, and suspension. However, the long intervals between tests, sometimes spanning only 600 to 800 miles, mean that the vehicle may be subject to stationary degradation rather than mechanical fatigue. Despite the clean MOT history, a physical inspection must focus on components affected by low-mileageterm storage. A buyer should check the chassis for surface corrosion, particularly along the sills and rear wheel arches, as the MX-5 is prone to rust when left stationary in damp environments. The tester should also inspect rubber components for cracking, such as suspension bushes and tyres, which perish with age regardless of mileage driven. Because there is no history of binding calipers or brake corrosion, verifying the condition of the brake discs and fluid is essential to ensure the system has not seized from disuse.
